Exporting widescreen DV project to Media Encoder Fails

This is my first attempt at exporting a video using CS4's media encoder, and when I try, the encoder app seems to not be able to "find" or load the Premiere CS4 sequence.  It seems to fail after a few minutes, during which the status of the job is "Waiting" and at the bottom it says "Loading xxxxx.prproj".
Any thoughts?  I'm on an i5 iMac with the CS4 Production suite installed.
Here's the error it gives:
- Source File: /Users/user/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/Wedding.prproj

FIXED!
Thanks to some points in this thread, I have solved my problem.
It was the KNOLL LIGHT FACTORY plug-in.  I removed it, and the Adobe Media Encoder now works on my system.  I assume that DYNAMIC LINKING between the CS4 apps also now works, but have yet to test that.
This also explains why my CS4 suite works on my MacBook Pro; I never installed KLF on my laptop.
Now I need to tell RED GIANT SOFTWARE about this problem, and either get a solution from them, or a refund.
Thanks.  You can add this solution to your collective repertoires in case a future OSX user encounters this exact problem.

  • Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
    While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails.  Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
    Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
    Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
    More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
    Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
    Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.

    I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset.  AME fails every time with the following message:
    "Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error."
    Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine.  The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
    All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime.  I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
    Interesting.
    Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

  • Media Encoder failing with AVCHD

    There's been a few discussions about AVCHD but I haven't been able to find any that were resolved. In using AVCHD footage from my Canon C100 I've found that media encoder fails if CUDA hardware acceleration is enabled for the project. Having acceleration disabled slows down my system a lot so I wondered if anybody found a solution?
    I'm using 6.2 on the Mac with a Quadro 4000 GPU.

    Hi Ann
    Good point, I assumed it was the AVCHD footage as I've not had a problem exporting with MPE turned on until using this footage but I just tested some Canon MXF footage from the C300 and AME failed with that too.

  • Unable to export sequence and transcode in Media Encoder

    Adobe CS4 Premiere Pro.  I think I have done this sucessfully before and cannot remember what is different.
    I have a one hour tape that I successfuly captured in its entirety and burned to DVD.  I take the original footage and in the source monitor carve up the original footage into 3 to 5 minutes smaller movies (new in and out points) that correspond to the various performances. I drag the movie windows over to the assets and rename each new movie.  I drag the movie to the timeline.  Export media. Put in the settings h264 and ntsc dv high quality preset. Put in the output name, click ok.  Adobe ME opens up but does not give me the "start queue" button.  The "add" button is there but not start and when I check explorer, the output file is not created.
    Would appreciate any ideas.  Not a newbie but intermediate at best.  Thanks. Joe.  Have hardly ever been in the forum.  Sorry if have not followed protocol.  I am rushing to prepare a collage for my daughters wedding in 3 weeks.

    Hi Jim,
    I just opened up Encore and on my wedding that I encoded from Premiere Pro in Media Encoder then brought into Encore by going to Import ------- as Timeline ---- It says "UnTranscoded" in the Project panel where all of my other assets are.
    Should that file be "Transcoded" already?
    When I exported it from Premierer into Media Encoder I used H.264 Blu-Ray, PCM Audio and all I did was change the Target and Max Bit Rate settings.
    Why is it not already "Transcoded" when I imported it into Encore.
    Thanks

  • Help! Exporting problem in Adobe Premiere & Media Encoder

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem for which I did not find any solution on the web. I am not a very experienced Premiere Pro user. Maybe you can help me!
    I made a project using Adobe Premiere Pro.
    It has only one Sequence, but I have multiple clips which I want to export in that sequence as separate videos (see video 1, video 2, video 3 in the image)
    The problem is that when I open Adobe Media Encoder, I open the sequence and I export all the different clips, exported videos do not keep all the Effects that I've applied to the video (contrast and brightness adjustments, other different image adjustments / effects etc).
    So, I can automatically export all the videos with Media Encoder, but with no color corrections or other adjustments. When I play the Sequence in premiere it all looks good. When I export all the videos using Media Encoder, they do not have any effects applied.
    If I export the sequence directly in premiere as a long video, it keeps the effects, but I get only one single video, and I need all of them exported separately.
    The only way it works is making different sequence manually and exporting each one at a time. But I have 200 of them. So it will take a lifetime
    I assume there is a smarter way to do it.
    Did it happen to you? Is it something that I don't do right?
    What should I do to keep all the Effects that I apply when exporting from Media Encoder?
    Is there another method which I could use to correctly export all the 200 videos in that sequence besides doing it manually?
    Thank you!

    Did you happen to select clips from the Project panel in Premiere Pro and queue to AME?  Can you export a timeline correctly (select a timeline > File menu > Export > Media > Click "Queue")?  Effects are applied only on clips in timeline and not on media clips under the Project panel.

  • I am missing the export format wmv in my media encoder

    I am missing the export format wmv in my media encoder. I have cs6 web/design premium. I seems that I don't have a full version of the media encoder. But why?

    WMV is part of any standard Windows install. If it doesn't show up, there is a configuration error or something is blocking the relevant components. That all there is to it - Adobe apps just use the sysstem components. There's no magic beyond that. As a start, check if the stuff shows up in Adobe Media Encoder or any other tools for that matter. Also make sure to run with sufficient user privileges so you have access to all system components. Likewise, turn off security tools that may be blocking this. also run Windows Update and/or the relevant Windows Media Player updates.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Fails Export from Premiere

    AME will not start the render qeue. I have tried Clip notes and different output types. I have embedded After Effects comps in my Premiere timeline. Could that be a cause? This is my first time working with Premiere and AE together.

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. i export anything by button "queue" from premiere to Encoder
    2. Encoder will start encoding
    3. Encoder does not show the window of media encoding (down left )
    Results: sound of sheep occur,
    in encoding error file is this reason of canceling the encoding :

    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

    There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
    If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
    If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
    If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
    You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
    The error message is:
    Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

    >Does anyone understand this?
    Simple:
    1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
    2. Open a
    second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
    3. Arrange the windows side by side.
    4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
    5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
    6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.

  • Premiere Pro/Media Encoder fail when exporting something with AE linked?

    Hey all, I do some video production work for a university, and we're running into some problems when trying to export all the videos from a particularly large course.  We haven't run into this issue before so I'm hoping someone might have knowledge of it and can help me out.
    Here's some background-
    I'm trying to export videos, about 20 minutes each.  Each video has an opening sequence and closing sequence that were created in After Effects and are Dynamic linked in the right spots on the timeline.
    We're encoding with Vimeo HD 720p 29.97 settings.
    Media Encoder gets through one pass seemingly just fine, and then a little after halfway through encoding it stops (doesn't crash, just stops encoding any further) and crashes when attempting to stop the queue.
    It's a pain to export from After Effects and re drag in all the sequences, so our workflow keeps all exporting Premiere -> Media Encoder.
    EDIT: Can't believe I forgot to mention this- works fine exporting directly from a timeline in Premiere, it's only when Media Encoder is used that issues arise- but it's unfeasible to export 30 videos from the timeline.
    EDIT: Done some more testing over the course of the day.  I can add After Effects files to a AME queue and encode them with the Vimeo settings and it makes it through both passes, correctly exporting the videos.  It just doesn't work when those same compositions are exported as linked compositions in a Premiere Pro timeline.
    Some things I've tried with no success:
    Exporting the After Effects files separately does not work, it hangs even if only exporting the after effects segments.(20 seconds each).
    I've turned off CUDA and done software only, still hangs.
    I've tried dragging/adding from Media Encoder/any number of different workflows to get the sequences from Premiere to After Effects.
    I've tried exporting with different settings: (e.g. non Vimeo HD 720p 29.97), still hangs (doesn't even start encoding, doesn't get halfway).
    Any ideas?

    I experienced this at one point.  Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime.  (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.)  However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem.  Search this board using quicktime as a search phase.  The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions.  I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

  • Error Exporting DVD Format from PP/Media Encoder

    I'm trying to export a rather long project (1.5 hours).  It has several sequences grouped together on one sequence that I've labeled "all".  I'm using Media Encoder, preferences are to create a DVD file and it keeps crashing.  These are my converting settings:

    I'm using a 2013 MacBook Pro, PP CC 8.1.0  I do have a couple other programs open, like Outlook and Safari, but I'm not sure that they would cause the error.
    Please help!  Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity, where are all your cache & database files "set" in the PrPro and project dialog preferences? I've found that PrPro tries to lump everything together, and unless I check where anything is set within any project/export, it can decide that a place I included in a different project for some gosh silly reason is where I still want THIS project to use for cache or whatnot. So ... at times I've gone in to check a project and found it had say decided to use the same preview and output file locations/folders from a completely different project, just dumped things in together. Very annoying. Might have some effect here. But again, might not.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Fail - need help please

    I keep getting a failed error when trying to use Adobe Media Encoder. 
    I open up my premiere project and select the comp I want.  I switch the format to Quicktime, select h.264 from preset.  Hit the start button and I get the failed sound/icon.
    2 questions:
    1. My comp is 1920x1080 but when I go in it automatically has it as 720... why is it not recognizing the comp size?
    2. Is there a way to fix this error?  It seems to export occassionally to my C drive (which is not raid) but it fails to my F drive (Raid 10).  But usually if I export as a wmv or something smaller it exports fine to F.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you I had to go out of town.  Error message doesn't say anything to me... maybe to you.  I'm not really sure what to set for "Field Type" so I just leave it at Lower.  Not sure if I should set it to higher or progressive instead.

  • Adobe Media Encoder fails on launch

    Every time I go to render media, when Adobe Media Encoder launches, the file fails. I get a non-descript dialog that says "Installation error: Please ensure this product has been installed properly." This happens immediately after I start the AME queue and it begins to load the .prproj file (which is already open in Premiere Pro, since that's where I exported from in the first place).
    I ran Adobe Updater and got the newest version of everything, except for the latest CS4 "Services Update" which fails to install properly. I've tried that update numerous times (after restart, after repairing permissions) and it seems to fail every time. I didn't think this was relevant but thought I'd mention it anyway.
    I'm on a Quad-Core Xenon Intel 2x2.5 Ghz tower, with 12GB RAM and 78+ GB free disk space. I'm trying to render a portion of a project, this segment is about a min and a half long. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 (latest update), using Premiere Pro CS4.2.1 (003 MC: 166418) and Adobe Media Encoder 4.2.0.006.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    If you have done a complete reinstall, and ran the Adobe CleanScript CS5 (that is the latest), then a Repair Install should not be needed - it would do nothing.
    For info, to do a Repair Install, one would insert the installation disc. When the installer module has loaded, it will survey one's system. If it finds the Adobe program(s), it will ask if you wish to Uninstall, or Repair Install. When one chooses Repair Install, it surveys the system again, for that program, and will replace, or correct any issues. This is usually MUCH faster, than doing an uninstall/reinstall.
    Good luck, and not sure what else could be the cause.

    No special effects. one dissolve (intro title slide to lecture)
    Reproduceable problem:
    i export to Media Encoder.
    I choose H.264 and Vimeo Wide Screen SD 23.976
    The file exports about 2/3rds of the way, not the same place each time, and fails with no definitive error message. The log shows, "Export Error: Error compiling movie. Unknown error."
    Rendered file to external drive (have more than one, have tried it on two, with same results)
    All drives have plenty of disk space on them.
    I tried cleaning the Media Encoder Media Cache. Same result.
    I tried moving the cache files to an almost empty external disk. No change.
    I broke the video into a 10 minute segment, it rendered just fine with the same settings.
    This seems to be a bug in Media Encoder. Is there a fix for this? A workaround? My client would like a single long file of the presentation.
    Could the 8 GBs of RAM be an issue? Not sure why it would. Or is this a known bug for Media Encoder?
    I also had a second job today, similar in that I needed to take 6 multiple takes of the same person, drop them onto a timeline and render it to Vimeo for them to review. same issue. Got 13'05" into the compile and it failed.  So something is odd. I have compiled much longer footage before, that was done with this camera.

    If you have done a complete reinstall, and ran the Adobe CleanScript CS5 (that is the latest), then a Repair Install should not be needed - it would do nothing.
    For info, to do a Repair Install, one would insert the installation disc. When the installer module has loaded, it will survey one's system. If it finds the Adobe program(s), it will ask if you wish to Uninstall, or Repair Install. When one chooses Repair Install, it surveys the system again, for that program, and will replace, or correct any issues. This is usually MUCH faster, than doing an uninstall/reinstall.
    Good luck, and not sure what else could be the cause.

  • Export Quick Time using Adobe Media Encoder...

    I'm a Windows (vista) user and I rarely use the Quick Time options in the Adobe Media Encoder but nonetheless, I have in the past. I was called on today to export a Quick Time of a video for a Mac using client and every time I selected an Adobe preset under Quick Time, 'Custom' would appear where it should normally say something like 'Source to Download 256' or whatever. (Sorry I can't check now, I'm rendering a big project). So no matter what preset I picked, I'd get 'Custom' appearing as my choice. Is this normal or has something gone wrong in the innards!?
    Sorry, I have no other computer to check with Premiere Pro CS3 installed.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the input. So just to confirm, you're saying that if I choose one of the Adobe Presets under QuickTime, that that setting should STAY visible in the selection box. Yes? Just like the others. Windows Media, Adobe Flash, etc...
    Because mine immediately changes to CUSTOM after I make a QuickTime selection. Also, it DOES NOT give me a file size estimate like the others. Does this make sense?

  • I can transcode my AVCHD files to DNxHD in Media Encoder, but when I ingest through Prelude, Media Encoder Fails.

    I am instructing students working on longer form projects to transcode their AVCHD material to Quicktime using the DNxHD codec (which is installed, and then preset loaded into Media Encoder).
    I am doing this since it is the suggested workflow in this article:
    Audio and Video glitches | AVCHD footage
    It worked great last year in CS6, but this workflow is not working at all in CC2014.
    When I transcode directly through Media Encoder, the process works fine, but if I ingest using Prelude (where students choose which files to transcode, set destination, etc) the transcoding fails and we get an AME error. Not sure why this would be any different than transcoding right into Media Encoder...
    We are working on PCs running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Hi Sally,
    Could you please post a screen shot of the AME error you are getting? And as Michael asked, could you also let us know which preset are you using?
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.
